Just don't know.... If I buy a 645ci outright theres no worry about payments and i might get an extended warranty. If I finance the m6 lower miles, cpo and more power. Any input?
Really a personal choice.. Factor in maintenance cost, monthly cost of ownership and see which one you feel more comfortable in.. My personal opinion if you can comfortably afford a m6 then why the hell not lol..
Yea that's a better way of looking at it lol I see you in bk the 645 I'm buying is in long island. Are there any 645 in your area in the 19-23k range? dealer or private owner if I don't find one worthy by sunday looks like I'll be leasing an m6
In both of my last 2 cars I built a spreadsheet and estimated the actual cost of 3 years - payments, maintenance, gas (the 645 and 650 get slightly different gas mileage) and, in the case of the purchase, the residual value. Just do the math and then decide from there.
But don't be buying these cars when you feel like you are on a tight budget. There are some shockingly expensive repairs that can put a real dent in your financial health.
The M6 is a wonderful beast, but be prepared for poor gas mileage and tyre wear. I changed-out 2 complete sets of tyres (Michelin Pilot SS) in less than 27000 wonderful miles on my M6 convertible.
Definitely decisions YOU will need to weigh. Take consideration of insurance costs, maintenance, and overall increase in costs for anything "M" stamped on it.
I once had a Dinan 5 series 540i and longed for the M5 for many years. I finally sold the 5er and bought the M5. The insurance was significantly more and the overall cost of the car was double that. While I LOVED the M5, I am not sure financially it was worth it in the end. This is hard for guys to swallow sometimes (myself included), I suppose it's being responsible.
I'd love an M6 now, but with my current car, I am able to have 3 other cars for playing around too. So it's a trade off. Good luck.
Thanks for the input guys... Decide to meet in the middle and get an 06-08 650i.
With an M6 my insurance wouldn't be pretty and I like big wheels so tires is an issue right there.
I did a carfax on the 645ci I was looking into and seen that in a whole year that car hasn't been driven even 1500 miles. red flag for me.
Just waiting on the right color combo now. white/black black/brown or any red interior.

Red interiors are the best and 22's look great and not overdone on these big cars, my wheel site will be live by the time you find your car, and I'll definately take care of you
why is a car driven less than 1500 miles a red flag for you ? just wondering.
My 645 will probably be driven about that many miles in a year because it's not a DD.
The car had 5 owners and was titled at 78,500 then again at 80,000. All within a year. Now he has it listed at 22k with 82,000 miles. I haggled him down to 20k and might I mention the car has 22" forgiatos and a strut grill kit. Even though i would love to jump on it Seems too good to be true to me, I'd rather stick to a credible dealerships and get a nice warranty. here are pics for anyone interested...
